Anwyl purchases 32.5-acre former Preston golf course from Northern Trust
The land at Tanterton Hall Road in Ingol received planning permission for the development of up to 164 homes last year, a scheme that will be known as Walkers Glade.
Savills acted on behalf of Northern Trust Land in the transaction – the former golf club land was sold for an undisclosed fee.
PWA Planning assisted Anwyl with its application to Preston City Council in August 2024, which proposes 164 proposed homes – 50 of which would be affordable.
Andrew Morgan, land director at Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “We’re pleased to have acquired this prominent parcel of land in a desirable location.
“Our development will contribute 114 private sale homes and 50 affordable homes towards housing targets for Ingol and the wider Preston area.”
Work is due to start on site next month.
Mike Grindrod, director at Northern Trust Land, said: “Our focus has been on bringing forward sustainable development opportunities, and this scheme will help address local housing needs while enhancing the surrounding area.”
A new junction formed off Tanterton Hall Road will facilitate access to the site.
The project team behind Anwyl’s August application included James Royston, ERAP, E3P, Weetwood, TPM Landscape, and Eddisons.

What about GREEN SPACE AND PRESERVING NATURE.

50 social houses promised. Happens all the time. This council states must have social housing but 18 months in the developer says “we caanot make a profit unless we can sell the 50 houses”. Council reply, “Oh dear, better sell them then”
It infuriates me that this poor excuse is allowed to cost people waiting on housing lists for a new home. If these developers cannot financially plan then that is their fault and the council should not bail them out

Unneeded destruction of parkland for residents. I suppose residents can go by car or taxi if they really must go outside for a walk.

The area is already under stress with the houses already built over the past few years in the wider context.
Country lanes are now main roads and vastly over crowded. Green land has been grabbed to build very expensive houses by the multitude of developers who don’t seem to have done anything about helping to improve essential infrastructure. I have been given a rationale by Lancs County Council about this!!!!
Schools. There are only 3 denominational secondary schools in the area. Where the new houses are, Cottam, Bartle etc. no new school started. Broughton High, massively over subscribed. Tulketh demolished after 14 years of dereliction.
As already said. Hospital places, Doctors appointments and a total lack of NHS dentistry.
Water, electric and sewage disposable adding to an over stretched set of services.
Who is going to improve all these issues?

It’s a shame we are losing that field Walker- loads of people use that for dog walking.
